Need Advice about an incident with my Child's School

Our daughter is 5 year old and attends a Montessori School. This is her second year and we have been extremely happy with her school, and especially her teacher, Ms. A (name changed for privacy).Ms. A has been a teacher for many years, and has a wonderful reputation. Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago (on a Friday) we were sent an e-mail from the school explaining that Ms. A would be out the following week for personal reasons. We were concerned, but I assumed there was an actual personal issue such as a death in the family. On Monday when we picked our child up, there were several new teachers standing with clipboards taking notes.On the Monday when Ms. A was supposed to return to the school, we received another e-mail stating that she has resigned for personal reasons and there would be an impromptu meeting for the parents to meet the new teacher and to answer questions. Well, the first question asked was about an "incident with a child" and the director of the school said "that's a leading question" and he couldn't answer that. A few more questions were thrown out and again, he couldn't answer them. A parent asked about the safety of their child and we were told "you're just going to have to trust us". We were told there was currently an investigation going on and all we were given were vague answers and told if anything involved our child we would receive a call. The last day Ms. A was present was at a field trip to a pumpkin farm. She was in good spirits, spoke with each parent individually about the day and their child's progress in the classroom. Nothing out of the ordinary and in fact, she was very polite and kind. This director used to be the PE coach and this is his first year after the old director retired.Many of the parents were upset and several parents kept their child from school the next day. We pay almost $15,000 in tuition for this school, and we don't want to pull our child mid-year. We, as her parents, are frustrated, confused and concerned.We are meeting with the director one-on-one and would like to know what our rights are, and possibly what questions we can ask. We want to know if we should ask for a tuition cut or reimbursement. Our child has not displayed any behaviors or sad anything that would cause us concern for her safety. Any and all comments and advice are welcome. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2lgyC4y
